Code Graph Analysis

Eliminate developer friction

Automatically hide likely false positives from developers. Present findings and fixes to developers in their native workflows with structural search, call graphs, and source-to-sink tracing.

CI/CD Integration

Easily operationalize and scale

See findings in your editor, pull requests, and CI pipelines with a single configuration. Export SARIF and DefectDojo reports with severity mapping for smooth triage and tracking.

Security rules that grow with threats

Protect your code with an ever-growing set of security rules covering OWASP Top 10, CVEs, and framework-specific vulnerabilities.

Avoid --platform Flag with FROM

LOW

FROM with --platform flag reduces portability. Let Docker handle platform selection.

Using Host IPC Mode

MEDIUM

Service uses host IPC namespace. Container shares inter-process communication with host.

Flask Code Injection via exec()

CRITICAL

User input from Flask request parameters flows to exec() or compile(). exec() cannot be safely sanitized -- redesign the feature to avoid dynamic code execution.

SQL Injection via database/sql

CRITICAL

User-controlled input reaches database/sql query methods without parameterization, enabling SQL injection — ranked

Service Running in Privileged Mode

CRITICAL

Service is running in privileged mode. This grants container equivalent of root capabilities on the host machine. Can lead to container escapes and privilege escalation.
